planning

Today, you’re going to plan to get the hell out of Dodge.

Roger, that. 

I have no problem planning a trip.  I plan trips all the damn time.  I spend more time planning vacations than I actually spend ON vacation.  As you know, I am planning a trip to Disney World, and there are spreadsheets, and revisions, and more revisions, and back-up plans, and contingency plans, and backup plans to the contingency plans, BUT since that trip was already in the works, I thought it only appropriate (in light of the break-up guide and all...just following along...) that I would plan another, NEW, trip.  I would LOVE to jet off to Hawaii.  HawaiiMom, I even priced tickets and looked into borrowing a timeshare, but there is just no way (I do think it could be a reality 2013 though!) unfortunately right NOW, not only do I not have any leave available, I have zero money in the bank, and robbing one is frowned on. 

Soooooo, *little drum roll* Charleston, here I come!  OK, here Booya and I come...in two months, if neither of us is dating anyone, and we can get a cheap but nice hotel, and he remembers to book it, and it's only for two days, but whatever...

I'm really all about the planning anyway.  If the trip happens, great, we had a ton of fun last time and even though the Pea won't be along for the ride, and I have no desire to talk to Booya about Pooh Bear and Crocodiles (or was it alligators?) it could still be fun.  More fun for me at this moment though, is the way planning takes me out of the present, and transports me into a time and place where I don't have to worry about anything; someone else cleans up after me, someone else cooks for me, and I don't have to set an alarm.  That is a pretty damn happy place and just thinking about it makes me feel better.

I may start planning another Disney trip just for good measure...and one to Massachusetts...oooh, Hilton Head could be fun.
